Oscar v Lando to heat up? Why shouldn't ...

FORMULA 1
About this episode
Former Renault driver and F1TV commentator, Jolyon Palmer, and Sky Sports F1 presenter, Natalie Pinkham, join Tom Clarkson to discuss all the big talking points ahead of this weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix.

Should Lando Norris be worried about the 10-point gap to championship leader Oscar Piastri? Will their rivalry start to heat up in the coming races? Jolyon explains where Oscar has the edge over Lando in qualifying and why that seemingly small lead in the standings is something the Australian can use to his advantage now. 

After causing a collision with George Russell at the Spanish Grand Prix, Max Verstappen is now just one penalty point away from an automatic race ban. Will the four-time World Champion change his approach in Montreal, or will he bounce back to secure what would be a fourth straight win at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve? 

Also on the agenda: why does Jolyon think Canada will be Mercedes’ best race of the year so far? Will Lewis Hamilton find ‘redemption’ at one of his most successful tracks? And should Williams be concerned after their failure to score points in Barcelona?
